- 'amara' bolite prabhu! are kichu nai,
tumi-i amara matra pita-bandhu-bhai
- bandhu, dara, suta, suta - tava dasi das,
sei to' sambandhe sabe amara prayas
- dhana, jana, grha, dara 'tomara' boliya,
rakha kori ami matro sevaka hoiya
- tomara karyera tore uparjibo dhan,
tomara samsare-vyaya koribo vahan
- bhalo-manda nahi jani seva matro kori,
tomara samsare ami visaya-prahari
- tomara icchaya mora indriya-calana,
sravana, darsana, ghrana, bhojana-vasana
- nija-sukha lagi' kichu nahi kori ar,
bhaktivinoda bole, tava sukha-sa

English Translation:
- O Lord, nothing further remains that may be called mine. Father, friend, brother - You alone are all these to me.
- My friends, wife, sons and daughters are now Your servants and maidservants. Whatever care I take for them is only as they are related to You.
- Declaring my wealth, family members, home, and wife are truly Yours, I continue as a mere servant to dutifully protect them.
- For the purpose of Your service I will earn money and bear the expense of maintaining Your household.
- I know nothing of what is good or bad; I simply render my service. I am but a watchman set to guard the properties of Your household.
- I exercise my senses only according to Your direction, and thus I hear, see, smell, and taste.
- I no longer do anything for my own pleasure. Bhaktivinoda says Your pleasure is the essence of everything.
